Another bright, cloudless day on the Plateau! The wind has returned, not at gale strength but definitely with significant force. Nevertheless, this is better than Phoenix's triple digit temperatures. A cold front will move through southern AZ this weekend bringing temps down--to the low 90s.
Last night we went to a star party at the campground across the road. Each year, a group of amateur astronomers from Phoenix spend a week, setting up their telescopes every evening. They're knowledgeable, enthusiastic and happy to share and show all they know about the heavens. This is the perfect place for star-gazing because the air is clear and there's minimal light pollution. As the sky darkened and my night vision improved, I was astounded by the number of stars (objects) up there--the sky was full, pinpoints of light everywhere! Very enjoyable--an hour well spent.
